Welcome to the British Social Attitudes Information System

About British Social Attitudes surveys

Every year the British Social Attitudes survey asks over 3,000 people what it's like to live in Britain and how they think Britain is run. Since 1983 the survey has been tracking people's changing social, political and moral attitudes. The surveys are carried out by NatCen Social Research.

NatCen Social Research launched the latest British Social Attitudes Report in March 2015. More about the report at British Social Attitudes 32. The first release of these 2014 data has now been added to this site.

If you are interested in commissioning any data analysis using BSA data, please get in touch with bsa@natcen.ac.uk.
